FergusWatershed Biodiversity Preserve One of Surrey's newest parks, Fergus Watershed Biodiversity Preserve is an ecological sanctuary for many plants and animals. Enjoy the park’s mosaic of habitats along the 1-km loop trail including a meadow, wetland and forest, and Fergus Creek which runs through the park. Fergus Creek is an important tributary feeding the Little Campbell River, known as Tatalu in the SENĆOŦEN language of the Semiahmoo People. Tatalu is an important fish-bearing river, and is of special significance to the Semiahmoo First Nation. The creek is home to fish, beavers and possibly even endangered Pacific water shrews and threatened Salish suckers. In October and November, look for coho and chum salmon spawning here. To protect their home, please look from the bridge and stay out of the creek. A biodiversity preserve is an area preserved and protected for its variety of plants, animals and habitats; and the connections between them. Salmon, owls and deer are just a few of the animals that depend on the park. To protect wildlife and sensitive ecosystems, dogs are not permitted in this park.
